Types of Shower Installations
Walk-in Showers
At Holloway Build Co, we design walk-in showers with a slight slope toward the drain so water stays contained even without a threshold, and we size the opening as wide as your layout allows.
This style suits homeowners who want a bigger, more open feel in a full renovation, or who are planning ahead for easier access later on. We typically pair walk-in showers with a fixed glass panel or half-wall to contain splashing while keeping the sightlines open, and because there's no door to install, they often come together faster than fully enclosed designs. If you're weighing a walk-in against a curbless option, it comes down to a small threshold versus a completely flush floor — we'll walk you through which fits your bathroom's plumbing.
Curbless Showers
A curbless shower removes the raised threshold entirely, so the shower floor sits flush with the rest of the bathroom floor — no step, no lip, nothing to trip over on the way in.
It's a common request for homeowners planning ahead for aging in place or accessibility, but plenty of people choose it purely for the clean, open look it gives a renovated bathroom. Because of the subfloor work involved, curbless showers typically take more planning than a standard walk-in, so we assess your existing floor structure early. We often pair curbless designs with a linear drain along one wall instead of a center drain, which makes the slope less noticeable and gives more flexibility with tile layout.
Glass Showers
Glass showers replace a shower curtain or standard door with a clear enclosure that shows off your tile and fixtures instead of hiding them. Because the glass is cut to your exact dimensions, we measure on-site after your tile and base work is complete rather than ordering off a standard size.
Frameless glass typically costs more than framed, since the panels are thicker and the hardware is minimal by design, so we'll walk you through both options and what fits your budget. Glass showers work with almost any shape — walk-in, curbless, or a traditional tiled stall — so this is often less about which shower you're building and more about how you want it finished.
Tiled Showers
A fully tiled shower means the walls, floor, and often the bench or niche are finished in tile rather than a manufactured surround, giving you the most control over color, pattern, and material.
This is usually the choice for homeowners doing a full renovation who want a specific look, whether that's large-format porcelain, natural stone, or a mosaic accent, rather than the limited style options of a prefabricated base. Tiled showers also let us build in features a one-piece surround can't, like a recessed niche, a built-in bench, or a curb shaped to your exact layout, though the extra handwork means a longer install timeline than glass or acrylic.
Old tile, tight layouts, fixtures from another decade, we've seen it all and know how to fix it. Full renovations, custom showers, and everything in between, done right the first time.
